6 ADD-ONS MILL TURN LATHE The Mill Turn module combines all of the power and functionality of CAD-CAM for both mill and lathe in a single streamlined programming software for multitask machining environments. Use it to perform everything from simple 2 axis turning and 3 & 4 axis milling to full 4 & 5 axis simultaneous operations. This mill turn machine programming solution provides the control to easily program the non-perpendicular multiaxis tool movements required to machine intricate features and compound angles found in many complex parts such as medical components, complex valves, tool holders, oil drilling tools, and many more. Lathe CAD-CAM makes it easy to set facing and OD/ID roughing, finishing, threading, and grooving 2 axis toolpaths on your CNC turning machine. Define custom tool holders, inserts and part holders for a realistic simulation experience to give you the peace of mind in knowing what will occur at your actual machine before ever cutting a chip. 2 Axis Turning & Live C Axis (XZC) Y Axis Milling 5 Axis Milling Head Support MDI Programming Multi-Turret & Multi-Spindle Support Supports Programmable Tailstocks & Steady Rests Full Mill Turn Machine Simulation Supports Custom Tool Holders & Inserts Lead-In/Lead-Out Control OD/ID Roughing & Finishing Operations Grooving Cycles Threading Cycles Facing Cycles Cut Off & Stock Feed Operations WIRE EDM ART Create precise 2 & 4 axis wirepath CNC programming quickly and easily with CAD-CAM for Wire EDM. This powerful software allows you to set up open & closed, inside & outside shape programming and gives you the ability to customize skim passes, independent lead-ins/lead-outs, glue stops, and more for a complete wire EDM programming solution that works with Mitsubishi, Japax, Brother, Fanuc, Sodick and other CNC Wire EDM machines. Turn your artistic imagination into a manufacturing reality! The BobART artistic CAD-CAM software allows you to take a picture or drawing and turn it into a relief model or vectorized geometry that can be machined by a CNC mill, router, laser, plasma, or waterjet machine. Simply open an image file with BobART and you re on your way to creating toolpaths and g-code for your creative engraving, carving, and embossing jobs.

7 ADD-ONS NEST Powerful true shape nesting algorithms provide faster and smarter sheet optimizing functionality to increase your per job profitability with higher sheet yields on your nesting jobs. Batch processing allows you to upload multiple part files to a single nesting job while part-in-part nesting lets smaller parts be positioned inside of larger parts to maximize overall sheet usage. This is an advanced shape cutting solution designed for CNC mill, router, laser, plasma, and waterjet shops. True Shape Nesting Part-In-Part Nesting Nesting with Tabs Batch Processing Part Priority Automatic Lead-In & Lead Out Multiple Part Import Options MACHINE SIMULATION Visualize your machine in action within the CAM simulation window to test and confirm your toolpath programming on 2-5 axis CNC machines. This allows you to verify part fixtures are oriented correctly, machine movements are collision free, proper tool fixtures sizes are being used, and much more. The simulation play controls and move list allow you to easily isolate potential programming problems and quickly make the required adjustments.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Windows (Minimum) 3GB RAM 128 MB Graphics Card* Intel or AMD Processors** 2GHz Processor Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 IE9 or Above When using physical media (disk) to install the BobCAD-CAM software, the optical drive must support DVD-ROM disks FIRST-CLASS TRAINING & TECH SUPPORT Training Solutions Webinars Training Seminars Video Tutorials In-House & On-Site Training Sessions Live Tech Support - 8am 7pm EST M-F Online Documentation - Available 24/7 BobCAD-CAM Industry Forums - Connect & Share Helpful Tips & Tricks with Fellow BobCAD-CAM Users Windows (Recommended) 6GB RAM or More on Windows 8 x64 Operating System 1GB Graphics Card* Intel or AMD Processors** 2GHz Processor (Multi-core) or Higher Windows 8 x64 Windows (Recommended) Specifications: Recommended vs. Minimum. The Minimum specifications mean that BobCAD-CAM software will open and work. The minimum requirements do not gauge performance and stability. For BobCAD-CAM to preform reliably at its best, it is highly recommended to meet or exceed the recommended specifications. Note: BobCAD-CAM V26 was the last version supported for windows XP. Windows XP is no longer officially supported. *BobCAD-CAM s stability is dependent on the graphics card ability to process information, integrated memory graphics cards may work but are not recommended. ATI or NVIDIA graphics cards with dedicated memory are recommended. The graphics card s software driver must be updated to the current software drivers released by the graphics card manufacturer. **BobCAD-CAM is not supported on Apple Macintosh -based machines. Some customers have shown success in running BobCAD-CAM in a Virtual Windows environment on Mac computers using Boot Camp. While the end user may choose to run Windows on a MAC, this is not supported by BobCAD-CAM Inc.
